"Laughter is what we need right now"
Should I repost my Ode to Hurricane Season 2004 for those who missed it then?
By all means, but only if you include a midi link to you singing it! Only kidding, tonight is to pass the time...tomorrow we get serious. Very Serious...

I saw it earlier but I don't think much about it because it looks to be just a trailing feeder band from . Won't amount to anything.

I have been looking at the real time surface pressure loops for Florida at the NWS Melbourne site during the day, http://www.srh.noaa.gov/mlb/ldis/4km/winds_pmsl_loop.html
Nothing extraordinary. Noticed the dijurnal phases today. However, The pressure has been higher since went through then I have seen in a while They seemed to peak yesterday night. Gradient is pretty evident though. Just another thing to keep an eye on as Jeanne gets closer.

Yeah, I just noticed also it is currently moving west now. I hope that is a wobble and it starts more NW. But if you look at the models, they show the NW movement it was making followed by the turn more to the west. Sigh. Monday I thought about taking the hurricane shutters down, but decided, I better wait...glad I did. I had taken a few off of windows in the family room and living room...so only a few minutes of work to do when I get off work tomorrow afternoon. I am soooo ready for winter this year.

When everyone went crazy over here with and the gas stations were running out of car nectar, I finally figured out that having a boat filled with 120 gallons of gas sitting in my backyard wasn't so bad. Good for the wifes saturn, but not so good for the f250 with the 7.3diesel.

Another Tom Petty line that fits is from Full Moon Frever
Well the man out to end us had a hurricane business
He's raise them from babies all by his self
But his teen-age accountant had become surrounded
He drank up the party and everyone left

Wait for the trend. Over the last 6 hours still only slightly North of West. We'll have to see where this wobble bottoms out.

This still needs tweaking and I'm open for suggestions if you think I forgot anything...
A few days before Jeanne and all through my town'
1000's of psycho's are rushing around
Publix was restocked yet now shelves are bare
but managers promise more ice will be there
Hardware stores crammed with a line out the door
prepare yet again to restock their store
They frantically call and beg their suppliers
send us more tarps, more tapcons more pliers!
We need flashlights and lanterns and lots of propane
Our customers seem to have just gone insane!
they are buying things we thought no one would buy
its good for the business, but you gotta ask why?
Where is the stuff that they bought just last week
when Hurricane had caused them to freak?
He went down below us and off to the west
so why are they back here on this new quest?
Donations were sent? Oh yes, now we see!
The victims of have that rope for your tree.
So back in they come and swarm all the aisles
sorting through tapcons and battery piles.
The frenzy gets worse as the day turns to night
and all are familiar with one certain sight
of people all huddled around their tv's
waiting to hear about Jeannes next big breeze
Will she come closer? When will she turn?
As my sister up north asks "when will you learn?"
Hammers are banging once more on plywood
covering windows cause Jeannes in the 'hood.
She's spinning due west and won't go away
silently stalking her Florida prey
We thought she had gone out to sea long ago
but now she is back with a FRANCIS echo
The wench is now aiming at poor Vero Beach
the center of Florida is well within reach
The place is in turmoil there's no gas again
I haven't seen gas cans since I don't know when!
Hurricane season is not over yet
We're only at "L" in the darn alphabet!
So pardon our whining and constant obsession
but we feel like we all have got manic depression!
heres the link to the cartoons...hysterical!

I actually had a friend with a big 50kw diesel generator, with no fuel, who was trying to cut a deal for the fuel in my truck, if we got hit by .

Im back online to post tonight for the next few hours, any questions you all have let me know. If you want to know my prediction or reasons for whats going on then look at the last thread and I think it was page 8? That was my forecast for Jeanne around 230pm. I also gave reasons why it would go wnw for first 6 hours then go due west starting very soon. Anyone want to post it on this thread feel free. Also if you read my post you will see its very simular to what stewart said in his 5pm update again.
